SD woman suspected of of burning boyfriend's house

San Diego 
A woman in San Diego has been arrested on suspicion of arson and burglary after police say she set her boyfriend's house on fire.

Police Sgt. Ray Battrick said in a statement Saturday that 21-year-old Johanna Gutierrez used gasoline to set a bedroom couch on fire and caused heavy damage in the Southcrest home of her 25-year-old boyfriend.

The man, whose name was not released, told police he and Gutierrez had an argument at her house, then he walked home and saw Gutierrez running out the door. He said Gutierrez drove a short distance away and stopped as the house exploded into flames.

The man called authorities and police arrested her shortly after.

Firefighters put out the blaze in about 10 minutes, but it caused an estimated $130,000 in damage.
